MacCulloch not only brings a lifetime's learning to bear on his
subject, but writes with vigour, empathy and wit ... about identity
and memory, about the importance of myths and why historians need
to challenge them. -- Malcolm Gaskill * Financial Times *
All Things Made New is a serious book on a serious subject.
It is written with elegance and sometimes donnish wit -- Robert
Tombs * The Times *
MacCulloch is ... able to write authoritatively and engagingly on a
remarkably diverse range of topics in the history of Christian
culture and thought. -- Peter Marshall * Literary Review *
